Another year of high security costs for Summerfest

August 9, 2019 By Raymond Neupert

Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett says changes may be coming for Summerfest after another six-figure security tab. 

Milwaukee Police say it cost the city 800-thousand dollars to provide security for this year’s Big Gig. Summerfest organizers paid about 125 thousand-dollars of that, taxpayers are on the hook for the rest.

It’s the fourth year in a row that Summerfest costs have been so high.
